The thing with Harvin is that you can not count on him being there Sunday. If he is on the field, he may be overpaid at 10 mill but he is effective and a weapon. The downside is the money and the team may forgo a #1 wr due to his presence on the roster, then he gets dinged up again and the jets are back to being subpar at wr while having 25 mill tied up in the position. Why would they have to "forgo a #1 wr due to his presence on the roster"? Why would an injury tie up 25 mil at the position?

With Harvin's spotty history with production, injuries and attitude, if they bypass a number one type WR because he's on the roster, this front office is even more incompetent that I thought.

The money doesn't mean dick when you're projected to have $53 million in cap space even if you keep Harvin at his 2015 salary. If the Jets end up having no shot at Mariota, then I'm taking Cooper and pairing him with Harvin, Decker, Kerley and Amaro to make life easier on whoever the hell is playing QB.

If Harvin agrees to taking a cut, the Jets would likely have to guaranteeing a percentage of the remainder of his contract.

Because Idsik may feel that a top 3 corp of Kerley, Decker, and Harvin is solid and and that the picks are better off being utilized at other positions of need. Harvin is at 10.5, kerley at 4 and Decker at 7.5, the add a couple of mill more spread out over the last three guys and you got 25 mill of space.

Well if the money means nothing and your drafting Cooper you got potentially a great core. My premise was that the jets may pass on Copper/White/Parker in the first to address CB, OLB or some other position of great need in the first, then if Harvin gets dinged as he has been known to, the jets are back at square 1 with a deficient WR group while spending 25 mill at the position.

Harvin is not worth his contract, doesn't matter that we have cap space its a bad precedent to overpay guys in this league, he needs to get his salary down to 5-6 million he is no way worth $10.5 million a year.

Who cares? There's tons of players around the league who aren't worth what they're making. Who the hell believe that guys like Flacco, Dalton and Kaepernick are $120 million dollar QB's? The bottom line is that Harvin is one of the most explosive playmakers in the game who can play multiple positions and is a threat to take it the distance whenever he lays a finger on the ball. I'm not getting rid of him or restructuring him right now. You wait until after the 2015 season to do that. It makes zero sense to do either at this point.
